I caught 10 minutes of the Caroline Quentin sit com "Life of Riley" the other night, and it seems to have fallen into the same trap as other recent UK sitcoms like Outnumbered and Our Family. It places a lot of reliance on horrendously precocious child actors giving totally wooden performances and spewing out ludicrously unconvincing lines.

Where do they get these child actors from?
